Like Joe Day at Newport, we don't seem to want to give our young keepers a chance.

Neither were good enough for us 'at the time.'
I think it is a great shame, but we can't just hang on to them for too many years making mistakes to gain experience. Outfield players can be shifted on somewhat earlier but keepers mature later and need loads of experience behind them in order to impress enough to keep their place in our team. They also generally have a longer 'working' life.
The fact that Connor O'Malley has played the number of first team games and also been noticed internationally tends to suggests that we may just have a little nugget on our hands.

Conor O'Malley for example?

Not really he was signed from elsewhere.

Connor came from St.Patricks Athletic and will be 24 this August. He may be very young looking but is only 3 years short of Aaron Chapman who has only just turned 27. There should be some genuine competition between the two keepers this year.
